Matala is situated in a beautiful bay surrounded by the wellknown "Caves of Matala"!
The antique greek population used the already existing caves for living and also as graves.
Many years later slowly, slowly the greek came here for holidays.
And then in the 60's-70's the "Flower Power" kids found Matala for "relaxing"!
The wellknown singers Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Cat Stevens told us in beautiful songs about the Magic of light, the cristal clear water and the romantical sunsets of Matala!
You'll be in the atmosphere of a small fisher man's village but with all the pleasure of the modern life as hotels, pensions, comfortable Tavernas, Cafeteries, bars and shops!
The most wonderful place for your holidays!
